There's one near wine connection Chalong (same side a few shops south) on ChaoFa east, another in Rawai on Wiset rd.

Don't know if either have what your after, maybe take picture with you to show them.

There's more around phuket, googles your friend.

thanks for the info...

i was reading its illegal to spearfish in thailand...yet many shops sell spearguns???

Yeah it is and they do..have seen some people going out at Nai Harn to spear fish, We enjoy fishing but definitely not a fan of spearfishing (Don't mind what you call a hawaiian sling, we call the gigee's where i come from), fish in Asia have a hard time getting to size as it is.

There is a fishing gear shop at the entrance of Soi 10 Patak Road in Karon.

Ocean sport can get you just about anything plus the guy speaks very good English, next to flints bakery.

phuket town near the clock circle is one shop who has plenty of spear guns and parts. the owner himself goes spearfishing, he maybe can give up some of his spots, nice guy.
